Abstract

Photosensitive materials with ever-improving properties are of great importance for optical and photonics applications. Additionally, they are extremely useful for designing components for neutron optical devices. We provide an overview on materials that have been tested and successfully used to control beams of cold and very cold neutrons based on diffractive elements. Artificial gratings are generated and optimized for the specific application in mind. We discuss the needs of the neutron optics community and highlight the progress obtained during the last decade. Materials that have been employed so far along with their properties are summarized, outlining the most promising candidates for the construction of an interferometer for very cold neutrons.
